I can view it or print it just fine, ghostscript knows about encapsulated postscript. I just figure if its printable, it ought to be something that can be traced & made into gcode as its your basic B&W image with some ascii etching that should go about halfway thru a sheet of lexan when milled. If gimp knows how to import an .ai file, thats news to me. I'll give all 3 a chance at it though, gimp, OO and LO. maybe LO can at least read it. Yes it can! There is also a security update to LO that I have now tried to pull 3 times, but each time the download dies with a few hundred k's to go in a 200+ megabyte dl. There is a beg screen on the dl page, I wonder if they are shutting it off if no donation is made? Thats pretty low IMO. If the dl had finished ok, I was ready to make a default donation of 20 USD, its good stuff. Now I am not so sure. I'll kill that chromium session and see if FF can dl it. Later & thanks folks. > > --- > This email is free from viruses and malware because avast!
